  1. A bizarre Pokémon with but a single eye embedded in an iron sphere. I suspect this creature levitates due to the magnetism it emits from its arms, which resemble horseshoe-shaped magnets.

    Legends: Arceus

  2. It subsists on electricity. As Magnemite flies, it emits electromagnetic waves from the units on each side of its body.

    Shield

  3. At times, Magnemite runs out of electricity and ends up on the ground. If you give batteries to a grounded Magnemite, it’ll start moving again.

    Sword

  4. It is hatched with the ability to defy gravity. It floats while emitting powerful electromagnetic waves.

    Let’s Go, Pikachu! · Let’s Go, Eevee!

  5. Perhaps because electrical lines are often buried these days, the number of Magnemite attacks on power plants has increased.

    Ultra Moon

  6. It’s frequently the cause of power outages, which is why some power plants send out electrical signals that it can’t stand.

    Ultra Sun

  7. It sends out electromagnetic waves, which let it float through the air. Touching it while it’s eating electricity will give you a full-body shock.

    Moon

  8. They gather in places where electricity is available. They can be found clinging to the steel towers used to support power lines.

    Sun

  9. The electromagnetic waves emitted by the units at the sides of its head expel antigravity, which allows it to float.

    Black 2 · White 2

  10. The faster the units at its sides rotate, the greater the magnetic force they generate.

    Platinum · Black · White

  11. The units at its sides generate electromagnetic waves that keep it airborne. It feeds on electricity.

    Diamond · Pearl

  12. It moves while constantly hovering. It discharges THUNDER WAVE and so on from the units at its sides.

    FireRed · Y

  13. The units at its sides are extremely powerful magnets. They generate enough magnetism to draw in iron objects from over 300 feet away.

    Emerald

  14. MAGNEMITE floats in the air by emitting electromagnetic waves from the units at its sides. These waves block gravity. This Pokémon becomes incapable of flight if its internal electrical supply is depleted.

    Sapphire · Alpha Sapphire

  15. MAGNEMITE attaches itself to power lines to feed on electricity. If your house has a power outage, check your circuit breakers. You may find a large number of this Pokémon clinging to the breaker box.

    Ruby · Omega Ruby

  16. The electricity emitted by the units on each side of its body cause it to become a strong magnet.

    Crystal

  17. The units at the sides of its body generate anti­ gravity energy to keep it aloft in the air.

    Silver · SoulSilver · X

  18. It is attracted by electromagnetic waves. It may approach trainers if they are using their POKéGEAR.

    Gold · HeartGold

  19. It is born with the ability to defy gravity. It floats in air on powerful electromagnetic waves.

    Yellow

  20. Uses anti-gravity to stay suspended. Appears without warning and uses THUNDER WAVE and similar moves.
